NBA Playoff Predictions

By Mike

Eastern Conference

(1) Cleveland Cavaliers vs. (8) Detroit Pistons in 5 games.
(2) Boston Celtics vs. (7) Chicago Bulls in 6 games.
(3) Orlando Magic vs. (6) Philadelphia 76ers in 5 games.
(4) Miami Heat vs. (5) Atlanta Hawks in 7 games.

To the next round...

(1) Cleveland Cavaliers vs. (4) Miami Heat in 5 games.
(7) Chicago Bulls vs. (3) Orlando Magic in 6 games.

And to the championship round...

(1) Cleveland Cavaliers vs. (3) Orlando Magic in 6 games.

In this matchup, Dwight Howard will certainly have a set of huge games going against the very soft Zydrunas Illgauskas, but LeBron will do his thing and finish off the Magic in six.

Western Conference

(1) Los Angeles Lakers vs. (8) Utah Jazz in 5 games.
(2) Denver Nuggets vs. (7) New Orleans Hornets in 7 games.
(3) San Antonio Spurs vs. (6) Dallas Mavericks in 7 games.
(4) Houston Rockets vs. (5) Portland Trailblazers in 6 games.

To the next round...

(1) Los Angeles Lakers vs. (5) Portland Trailblazers in 5 games.
(2) Denver Nuggets vs. (6) Dallas Mavericks in 5 games.

And to the Championship Round...

(1) Los Angeles Lakers vs. (6) Dallas Mavericks in 7 games.

In possibly the only surprise in the whole playoffs, the Dallas Mavericks somehow take the Lakers to game 7, where they get blown out on the road.

Finally the NBA Finals...

(1) Los Angeles Lakers vs. (1) Cleveland Cavaliers in 6 games.
The ultimate matchup as it is "The King" versus Kobe. I believe that the favorite is upset and LeBron finally gets his first of many many championships.

The King Gets His First NBA Title
